Answer:

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariana workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x - 12 = -12

Her error was multiplying -3 and -4 which gives +12 but she wrote -12 instead

-6x = 0

x=0

Correct workings:

-3(2x - 4) = -12

-6x + 12 = - 12

-6x = -12 - 12

-6x = -24

x = -24/-6

x = 4

How do you find the area of a regular polygon?
Bogdan [553]
Each of the triangles are equal in base length, height, and area<span>. Remember the formula for the </span>area<span> of a triangle. The </span>area<span> of any triangle is 1/2 times the length of the base (which, in the </span>polygon<span>, is the length of a side) multiplied by the height (which is the same as the apothem in </span>regular polygon<span>).

Which is the correct answer ?????
Damm [24]
<h3>Answer:  True</h3>

Explanation:

Technically you could isolate any variable you wanted, from either equation. However, convention is to pick the variable in which isolating it is easiest, and most efficient.

The key thing to look for is if there's a coefficient of 1. This is found in the second equation for the y term. Think of -4x+y = -13 as -4x+1y = -13. Due to the coefficient of 1, when solving for y we won't involve messy fractions.

If you were to solve for y, then you'd get y = 4x-13, which is then plugged in (aka substituted) into the first equation. That allows you to solve for x. Once you know x, you can determine y.
